First of all, Thank you to all of my followers and friends for your amazing patience, and lovely presence you all bring when you visit.. Most who know me by now know I take time out every now and again..

I needed some time to refresh and disconnect for a time from the world of Technology. So I feel another Story about to be born. Many thanks for all of your wonderful comments, and I also just want to say welcome to all the new subscribers who clicked follow during my absence.. So nice to see so many new faces.

We Push through what ever load is piled on top

Part One.

The woman knew from the feelings within her body that it was time to change her energy.. The constant days of relentless rain and the feelings of being hemmed in encouraged her to seek alternative pastimes.

She picked up Knitting, that went wrong, she painted, but her heart wasn’t in it. Books she picked up and put down.. The tiredness enveloped her mood as she flitted from one project to another.

Follow the Signs along the way

She wanted stimulation something New to focus her energy upon. The Universe Spoke… But it took a few weeks before she understood what she was being shown. Yet the Signs were there pointing her in the right direction..

For weeks just after Christmas the signs had been staring her in the face, as her thoughts had reached out but in the same instance she had rejected the idea that was being shown her.. She was too old to start this new adventure she thought..

Week after week she travelled the same road and time after time the Universe stopped her in her tracks to show her what it wanted her to learn..

The Road we travel

And time after time she gave herself the same old excuse, she was too old to start a new venture, and she walked on by what the Universe was showing her.. Even though she lingered longer than normal to view what the Universe was showing her.

Dry stone walls built to last ~Barriers we all build~

Some weeks past and again out the blue the Universe was now shouting at her to take Notice.. and she almost toppled and gave in to the craving inside of her.. But again she walked on by..

Defences are only obstacles to over come

She forgot about this craving for a few weeks, and carried along her normal routines, dismissing what had been planted within her mind..

Togetherness within the family circle

But the Universe was not going to take No for an answer. It had other plans for the woman.. And it was determined to make it’s self heard one way or the other..

This story is just a little appetiser and More will follow..

The above photo’s are part of more I will show you at a later date when I went into Derbyshire on Valentines Day with my Husband.. They are of Beeley Moor And Rowsley

‘She wanted stimulation something New to focus her energy upon.’ – This line got me hooked to the story. I can’t tell you Sue how well I can relate to it. Don’t we all need some stimulation that energizes us and keeps us going in life? Look forward to the second part.

Change is always hard. Sometimes we get little nudges along the way, and when we resist we sometimes get shoved right in! It’s something about those timeouts that seem to put us where we need to be. It’s almost as if we need to store the energy to be able to do it. Best wishes for wherever you’re headed.

Hi Sue,
Love the photos and great to read a new entry. Is this the series you alluded to late 2015? I kept waiting for it to arrive 🙂 Your country is gorgeous I really hope to visit one day. You are an awesome story teller and inspire so many. I sense you are in a good space now and hope that continues. On some level I realize that life here ( atleast until we all enter 5D) is planned with conflicts, tests, dilemmas, hardships, etc, but it would be nice if at some point we accrued enough mileage points that we could cash them in for renewed clarity and peace. While typing this I realize that our inner knowingness is forever a resource for clarity and peace. But at times it can be difficult to access..

Yes you guessed right.. as my many projects which I started waned bar the one which the Universe had ideas about. 🙂 I will link the post as I said there would be a part two didn’t I.. and I agree.. We are each of us finding a new level of finding our inner peace.. As we shed the layers and expose and peel away our emotional baggage.. 🙂 Been doing that too.. Which will come out in Barbara’s Awakening Post on the 23rd when I take part in her update for February Awakening Posts.. That has been drafted for a while.. I just added photo’s yesterday..
Hope you are feeling brighter too Linda.. and Yes.. Feeling much better within my self this week. 🙂 Sending you lots and LOADs of Love xxx 🙂 ❤

I am sure Linda it will come to you.. I just hope my entry makes sense.I have had to leave it alone as I have altered it several times.. and was tempted yesterday to do so again.. and had to slap my hand 😉

I enjoyed this entry and look forward to more. Which signs did the universe show you? And what did it mean by that?
I love to read the sign language by the universe. I take careful notice of what I am being shown. But I am not too good at obeying 😦
Hugs
Karin

Now you have me on ‘pins and needles’ but hopefully, whatever this new venture is it will not keep you away from this site as I would hate to lose contact with you. You help to keep me ‘other directed’ but more ‘directed’ toward myself. I, too, have always been looking (for a lifetime) at what it is I need to do for myself and again, perhaps, it is so close I can touch it but the connection is never quite made. Do take care. xoxo

Dearest Renee forgive my late response to your reply.. You would not lose me dear Renee.. And how wonderful a compliment you pay me.. thank you. I hope you once again find inspiration.. We need to do something for ourselves.. After devoting a life time to others.. And when It comes along your heart will sing with the joy of fulfilment. For when we are enjoying what we do, we know we are on the right path.. 🙂 Love and Best wishes to you Renee 🙂

Those Derbyshire High Peaks are timelessly beautiful in every sense of the word 🙂 How fortunate you are to live amongst their splendour and have time to stand atop their sumptuous crown and enjoy such panoramic perspective. How my mind raced with memories of years ago and the journeys made across their windswept wilderness. They were near perfect moments of delightful abandonment: captivated by miles of rolling form and the gentle flow of sweep and swale.

Sue, you do indeed spin a magic tale and once more I found myself back there again following your trail of blazing images and being led like the tumbling river from summit to vale. And in the process my thoughts turned to Alfred Lord Tennyson’s ‘The Brook’ as I ventured from high ‘haunts of Coot and Hern and made a sudden sally, and sparkled out amongst the fern, to wander down a valley. By thirty hills I hurried down and slipped between the ridges, by twenty thorpes, a little town, and half a hundred bridges’.

And I see from the wonderful comments already written here that I am certainly not the only reader eager to return and read the next instalment of your teasing tale! I hope you’ll not be keeping us in suspense for to long before the big reveal 🙂

Perhaps I could leave you with a short few lines of verse written to Sister Christine from New York on 6th January 1896 by Swami Vivekananda. It’s titled ‘To An Early Violet’, which I’m sure you’ll know well as an early spring flower. When it blooms in late winter, before the advent of spring proper, it has to rally against the chill, and this poem is meant to give encouragement to stay strong in heart and soul through changing circumstances. I found it most encouraging as I hope you will as well…

Dear Dewin, first may I say how lovely it is to have you comment once again, and such an eloquent comment it is for sure.. Yes we are very privileged to be within short driving distance from my childhood roots and Derbyshire will always be the love of my heart.. So many memories tied up there from childhood to courting days.. And its beauty changes with the Seasons and always delights what ever time of year I go back to visit..
I know you are familiar with some of the countryside around there so I know you will understand how such natural beauty of the land holds that light within our hearts..
You couldn’t have chosen a nicer passage from Lord Tennyson’s ‘The Brook’ a favourite of my Grandfathers, whom I think my love of poetry stems from.
I had not read the The Early Violet before and it swept me away.. I have wild violets within my garden whose leaves are heart shaped, the Universe certainly knew what it was doing when it created them 🙂
Many thanks Dewin for your most wonderful comment..
Blessings Sue

I believe Tennyson’s poem was also one of my Grandfather’s favourites and no doubt an interest originating from his own classical education and ‘Tom Brown School Days’. This Romantic Era poem is far more than a mere reaction to the consequences of the Industrial Revolution and its effect upon the beauty of the landscape. It alludes specifically to the transient nature of human beings by comparing their temporal existence with that of Nature’s eternal promise. I have always found it mesmerising, a poem that immediately pulls me back to Nature with every joyous read.

To hear you wax so lyrically and tenderly of your Derbyshire days is a gift in itself: nostalgic sentiment expressed with undoubted sincerity and wonderful treasures for carriage within your heart. Beautiful memories of time and place do most certainly radiate their own special light to always shine across our life time. I hope so much to one day return to the Peaks and revisit those high haunts once more.

So very pleased you enjoyed Vivekananda’s uplifting poem Sue. It is deeply warming 🙂

I had no idea as to the shape of the wild Violet leaves but adore the fact the Cosmic Artist signs off their own piece of art with such breath-taking flourish and panache 🙂

My Grandfather spent the whole of his adult life beneath ground within the coal mines.. In days when you dug with shovel and pick and water was up to your knees.. His escapism was his allotment and books.. Poetry.. and Cowboy books 🙂 One of his favourite poems was The Song of Hiawatha by Longfellow.. I remember thinking as a child this was not a poem but a book.. not realising its length went into chapters.. But my Granddad could recite passages off by heart and I loved listening 🙂 And pleased you discovered the shape of wild violet leaves 🙂 have a wonderful week, and thank you again for your visit..
I hope you get to visit the Peak District again 🙂 It is on par with Beautiful Wales.. 🙂

You’ve such loving memories of your Grandfather and speak of him with fond warmth and affection. I imagine he cherished you and his time spent making you smile as much as you did listening to his recitation and storytelling. It also seems that you have inherited several of his passions as well: books, poetry, the allotment, Nature and of course, your interest in the Native tribes of American history.

Thousands of people like your Grandfather really did have to make huge compromises and untold sacrifices to facilitate our transition towards industrialisation, and I think it of immense importance that their history, and our social history, is never forgotten or ever under appreciated. They really were the soldiers of industry who fought the earth, sea and sky with pick and spade to bring fire to the hearth.

Sincere thanks for the Longfellow reference…his name has curiously surfaced several times recently since my initial introduction to him just before Christmas 2015, and as a consequence I shall pursue his work further with greater interest and earnest intent. Of course, I had to have a quick cursory look before replying to your comment and came away with a rather interesting little factoid to share with you. It ties in most readily with the main theme of your post. This extract is taken from: http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/hiawatha.html

’[…] Much of Longfellow’s work was based on The Myth of Hiawatha compiled by Jane and Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. […] Jane was an Ojibway Indian whose name translated into English as ‘The Woman of the Sound Which the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky’. Is this yet another synchronous link to your thoughts on listening when the Universe speaks? Oh how your Grandfather must be smiling right now and sharing in your happiness! 🙂

The shapes of wild Violet leaves are indeed a creation of wonder and your generous factoid sated both my pragmatic and idealist appetite very nicely, thank you Sue 😉

The Welsh landscape is both striking and serene and there are many places I have already visited that are so beautiful one can hear Angels sing, and I shall return to those places and venture to discover others equally as magical as well. Derbyshire and the Peaks will always remain a joyous memory because it was a special time in my life and a major turning point in so many ways. Indeed, I left there to come to Wales, trading one area of outstanding natural beauty for another of equal merit just waiting to be explored.

Thank you for the exchange of ideas and fascinating discussion. Looking forward to your next post and forthcoming reveal!

Many thanks for that link And I am the one smiling profusely Dewin to “‘The Woman of the Sound Which the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky’.” Oh so love this Universe and how she knows exactly what she is doing.. Many thanks again Dewin And I look forward to the next post of yours.. Enjoy a magical week 🙂 Sue

I really like your appetizer Sue and am looking forward to next chapter 😀
Sometimes we need changes and then it is about to see them, otherwise we will get them repeated again and again, as you also get now.
Much love ❤ Irene

Very true Irene.. Like lessons in life we need to learn.. until we do, they keep on repeating… Once we have acknowledge and learnt we then move on 🙂 Hope you enjoyed your weekend Irene.. much love your way 🙂 thank you xx

Heard a story the other day of a woman who had quit her routine to follow her passion even though she was very successful at what she was doing. She was 71, and never considered her age. She went on to become very successful and happy at accomplishing her dreams.
What the mind sees, the body creates.
Excellent in every way.

Yes the Universe is very apt at speaking to us, yet we create so many excuses not to listen.. Upon this occasion The woman laughed out loud when it finally delivered what it wanted her to do.. 🙂 Many thanks Eddie that young woman of 71 I hope continues accomplishing her dreams.. Wonderful share thank you 🙂

Thank you Candice, I think in hindsight wisdom comes through seeing we can also be ‘Fools’ and Oh I have had my moments of foolishness believe me.. Being wise only means we have learnt to grow wise to ourselves and learn to be true to our own senses 🙂 I think that is what the woman would say 🙂 😉 Much love your way 🙂

These photos speak to me they are beautiful.
For those that follow the signs, the first photo needs no caption to explain.
Every photo is a meaningful coincidence for the intuitive to interpret.
Man made barriers can not stop you on the peaceful road we travel.
Togetherness of those close at hand can extend to the family of man.
The Derbyshire Moors spoke to you Sue, please in your own time, tell us the story.
Travel light Sue and may you enjoy your journey. _/\_

Thank you Dear Jack.. you see well my dear friend and I thank you continually for you support and friendship and feeding back to me that what I wanted to portray in pictures and words did not get missed within my story 🙂 Bless you _/\_

Oh so pleased you are here Holly.. Sometimes we need a kick start and I was getting so listless in the things I was doing.. I now have that ‘Heart-of-Fire’ burning bright again.. As I tackle this new project with gusto 🙂

Scenic pics of your countryside, It appears that you took these pics and spun a tale out of it about a struggling protagonist like Vivekananda’s ‘early violet’ so beautifully alluded to here by one of the drum beaters. Standing by, Sue, for the next part…

Yes that is a beautiful comment and poetry via Dewin isn’t it and I am delighted that you enjoyed the tale spun, and hope you enjoy the follow up too 🙂 Many thanks Raj, its always good to receive your thoughts my friend 🙂

Well now, with a glee on my face and open hand edge perpendicular and pressing against my frowning brows – I am eager to read on as the story unravels and the Universe guides the woman. Giant hugs, Sue 🙂

We hibernate each night, unlike our cousins who take time out for a whole season. In this time when our part of the planet decides to rest and recuperate we find it hard, with our inherent urge to be doing, to take note of the lessons she hands out to us with each breath and every step we take, especially when it seems that confusion reigns as the blossoms bloom before spring has sprung!
Love the similes and so pleased for you Sue that you can enjoy such wondrous views and messages with your hubby in the process of recharging.
Take your time dear Sue and we all look forward to the next installment of your journey. Love, David

Thank you David, and yes the daffodils were out before the snowdrops this year, and some of my flowers have not stopped blooming all winter..I even have a bud on a Summer Clematis!that I forgot to cut back. 😉 How are you finding the damp wetter climes my friend? And yes we are lucky to such short distances away from so much open space in Natures wonderland.. 🙂 Blessings returned David 🙂 Sue

Dear Sriram.. how lovely to have you visit 🙂 you should see how wide I am smiling 😀 lol.. and so pleased you enjoyed.. I had a lovely weekend thank you and hope all is well with you and yours.. Love and Blessings Sue 🙂

I thank you Teagan, and to be honest I never thought I would be following this new adventure.. Yet I am loving every moment of this new direction I have been guided in.. Big smiles and lots of hugs your way..

Dearest heart, I feel what you have been going through. It seemed as though I had slipped into the well and looking for a way out once again. I’ve started reading some inspirational books to get me moving and see if there is still a chapter left for me. Getting the creative juices flowing in a way that makes me feel alive again. I’m anxious to see what you come up with here. Maybe it will help me as well. Blessings and hugs.

I think dear Marlene.. since I retired, I had lost a little of that spark.. you know that ignites us to feel of use, and even my knitting and crafts no longer were creating that spark.. So this unusual direction is definitely keeping keeping my vibrational juices flowing 🙂 and I am Loving it 🙂 haha.. I am once again like that 5 yr old 🙂 xxx 😀

Hi Tom.. Yes had a fabulous weekend.. and yes often I could have saved myself a lot of grief had I listened sooner, many a time in the past.. This time though it made me laugh out loud just how it spoke and made itself heard loud and clear :-0 Have a great week also Tom 🙂

Hello Sue, I’ve been feeling a similar way lately and haven’t been reading any posts or posting anything myself for a while but today, I read your story and am captivated. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Lots of love to you xx

So pleased to see you Teri.. and the next part is already written though not posted yet.. and it may well run into 3 parts.. just because the ending is super cool how the Universe delivered 🙂 lol.. 🙂 So happy you are here and yes sometimes we just need time out for ourselves.. Love and Hugs my friend xx

We are so much a part of this universe and the energy that keeps moving from one form to other, from one state to the other and life is a connected phenomena with nature and the way we nurture our senses. Life is a flow and it keeps taking us in different directions depending what it faces and how it manages to wade away the hurdles. Change in inevitable and change is the harbinger of new energy and new vigor in life and but all change has its different flavor and treatment is different and it is an art to embrace change without getting fluttered and flustered with the impact of change.

Yes Sue, there are moments in life where we desperately look for the change and there are occasions where things demand change, we keep getting signals and we keep getting signs that warns us and that keep us on watch and that tell us it is time change course and many times we miss the indications and fail to follow the path of change that is taking us to newer places and opening better opportunities.

Deeply profound thoughts captured in such lucidity in this post and it has deeper meaning to interpret. I am trying decipher the layers within the words. Yes, we need that break to make our mind to take the thoughts, the disconnect from technology is the break that gives us the connection with self.

Sue, it is always a pleasure being here and learning so much from you, you keep motivating, inspiring and give the direction when I get distracted with the digital distraction.
Have a lovely week ahead.
😀

And it is always a deep pleasure dear Nihar to read your thoughts you leave me here.. We learn from each other, and I think our Universe is always nudging us to get in line with the energy flow.. But we are often distracted to see.. or perhaps we can be stubborn in our ways and caught within the ruts we dig ourselves into.. So very often change is simply a matter of trying something different.. Yet so many are stuck within their ways..
So learning to listen when the Universe Speaks, is also an art.. Often we are too busy talking to stop to listen to what our true ‘inner-higher’ selves are trying to show us.. When we do.. well, we see there is much joy still to be had in learning to follow a new adventure, for there is still so much we can learn.. 🙂
Blessings my friend and I hope to be visiting you soon 🙂

Indeed Sue, so much true we have stopped listening to our own voice. It is so much noise, the cacophony keeps has disconnected with self. We have stopped living with the nature and have also stopped understating the signs and signals given by nature, they speaks so much and we don’t listen and complaint about the disaster and the destruction inflicted by nature, they do so when we stop hearing their pain. There’s a limit and there is a space beyond which we need to control and take stoke of things in life…
Change is inevitbale and change is what makes life beautiful but we have ceased to see that aspect of life and we have made life more mechanical and not decipher the patterns in the mechanics of life and living.
So nice to hear from you and its been relatively long and I can understand, you had your lovely break and so much to catch up, not easy…
take care…
Sue, have a lovely week ahead…
😀

A great appetizer Sue, I hope the woman can find her way back to the beauty of the Universe. I was in a definite pothole on my journey through life, enthusiasm had waned as well as appreciation of what Nature was showing me. My eyes opened wide when I saw firsthand natures wonders in Chile. Hope you will enjoy my pictures in my future posts.
Keep smiling Girl.
Emu

Wow! It would be so nice to live in an area that wasn’t filled with concrete and brick buildings. I’ve been a little restless lately and can’t quite put my finger on what it is I’m wanting to do. I suppose I need to pay attention.

Yes we are very Lucky to live where we do and I think I would wilt if I lived among concrete.. So I so know how you must feel.. I hope you find something to grasp your attention and lighten your spirit April.. I am sure you would feel so much brighter within yourself.. There are only so many things we can Knit 😉 lol… as lovely as they are and absorbing it is… And so far I am enjoying what the Universe threw my way 🙂

Hi, Sue, this is the first time I’m visiting your blog and, I’m really happy to land here.

The universe is linked with us, I believe so. With our every endeavour, every effort, the universe is playing its role silently. As Coelho has said, “the universe always conspired to help the dreamer”. If we dream of a change earnestly, that would happen for sure…

Wonderful pictures and profound thoughts here, Sue. I’ll wait for more of the story…:-)

Lovely to have you, and so pleased you landed safely 🙂 and I am delighted you enjoyed this post.. Many thanks also for the follow.. Maniparna.. So pleased to meet you.. and thank you kindly for the wonderful compliments you have paid me.. Blessings Sue

I love the pictures and they compliment the story so well! Just gorgeous! I am excited to hear more about this woman and her path and her journey waiting to unfold. I wonder if she will listen to the universe! I am loving this Sue! xxx

I think this sounds like the very journey you might be on in real life…and it’s so beautiful to see. What gorgeous photos and lovely thoughts…I can’t wait to read the rest of this. Hope you’re well, Sweet Sue! xoxox

Dear Cyndi, yes I am very well at the moment thank you, all the better when I see your smile and that of the Sun who has poked its head from behind the clouds these last two days.. a much better feeling in the air than all that rain.. Many thanks for your visit.. Oh and you couldn’t post me the link to your writing blog, I know you posted a new post ages ago I saw it in my email box then lost it.. Only your link here only goes to your new colouring one.. I am sure there is a new updated post waiting for me to read!! 🙂

Hehe. No worries – I’m just so happy to know you and see your sweet smile. No need for the link – don’t want to give you twice the stuff to read. Your support and comments just mean so much to me. Sending more hugs! xox

Loved it The story got me hooked. I am not sure if you are the woman in the story. As you are a natural story teller I guess the universe might want you to write and inspire? Can’t wait till the next part

Many the voices of our universe,they are steadily repeated since ancient times,but there are moments in our life that we can hear nothing,or other moments that we hear everything but we are unable to interpret;they are like foreign languages to us.I can very well hear the roaring surge in your soul though,which is ready to come out to surface and make Sue narrate her journeys on the less travelled road.Loved your symbolic road photo with the sideways perspective,the vanishing point doesn’t clearly show,the turning point must be very revealing,I suspect.All the best to you,dear friend Sue 🙂 xxx

There are so many comments on your blog, Sue, I often wonder how you find time to read and answer one more, but you always do and I am grateful for that. Yes, the universe is shouting at me right now and yet, I too feel like I am too old for such an adventure, but who knows, one day soon it may all come tumbling forth 🙂

I often wonder the same thing too Beverley and one day I am sure to catch up with my self coming backwards 🙂 lol So pleased to know you are feeling the Universe talking to you too.. we have to follow and you are never too old to learn.. And I love your new adventure you are taking on within your church.. its wonderful news 🙂 xx

Another beautiful post. You must be enjoying your walks on the moors! Happy walking and thinking. Xxx 🙂
P.s I’m sorry to have missed these wonderful posts. I’m following your blog but for some strange reason your posts don’t appear in my reader. Not sure why that is….

Thank you so much Maria, I am so pleased you are enjoying them… Nothing has been happening much on the gardening front to post anything on my Gardening blog of late.. So I am pleased you are reading the story 🙂
